Are you ready to look at the Cross in a whole new light? ( And no, we don't just mean adjusting your screen brightness.)

In this episode, we're driving deep into a profound, beautiful, and sometimes mysterious relationship between the Corpus ( the body of Christ) and the Cross itself. Why do some traditions feature a crucifix with Jesus' body depicted, while others opt for an empty cross? Is it just a matter of church decor, or is there a massive theological masterclass hidden in plain sight?

Spoiler alert: it's the latter.

Let's talk about heresy.

Join Saints and Side-Eye as we break down what the Catechism really says about the theological errors and how it all ties back to the misunderstood life of Saint Mary Magdalene.

Tune in for a perfect blend of church history, deep faith, and just a little bit of side-eye.
